Event Details
The science writing competition by IndiaBioscience, ‘Write On—2024′, aims to bring Indian life science research to the general public in a compelling and understandable way. The goal is to encourage diverse styles of popular science writing, including storytelling, fiction, book reviews, or interview articles. We invite submissions of unpublished, creative write-ups about your research (or research that piques your interest!) — between 1000 and 1200 words — crafted to be engaging and approachable for the average reader.
Note: Please DO NOT submit a scientific research/review paper.
